TV input signal lost

JoeBell8 · Dec 2, 2020

Hello everyone, need some help please!

I keep getting interrupted when I'm gaming/watching netflix by a screen that says "Your TV signal was lost"

I only have a HDMI cable plugged in at the back so I have no idea what is asking me to do?

I've watched a couple of youtube clips on how to fix this but none have helped

This is an XBOX ONE, any help on how to stop this message coming up would be grand.

Thank you!

Joe

Try this:

Go to Settings->General->Power Mode & Start Up

In that menu, uncheck the box that says "On start, go to TV".

That's the primary cause for that message. Give it a try, and see if that resolves it.

Thanks for the help!

Unfortunately this hasn’t resolve the problem though, the message keeps interrupting me mid game

is there anything else I can try?

appreciate the help thank you!

If I switch an app to TV from another app it will sometimes give the 'we've lost your TV signal - but within 5 seconds the TV signal will come on. Now - in the past week I've had two instances of after watching Netflix and then going to LiveTV I've had the
'we've lost your TV signal' message stay on. I was able to recover by unplugging the XB1 power and replugging it in to do a hard boot up again. I have a DirecTV DVR HDMI output that goes to a 1 to 2 HDMI splitter and then one leg of the splitter goes directly
to an A/V receiver HDMI input and the other leg of the splitter goes to the HDMI input of the XBOX (and the HDMI output of the XBOX goes to a different A/V HDMI receiver input). Whenever I have trouble with the XB1 TV path - I just switch to the other A/V
receiver input (that bypasses the XB1 through the other splitter leg. It was a $30 splitter that works around this XB1 TV issue with a simple push of my receiver input select button.

That's not going to help if the TV's input won't accept the 1080p signal.

Not sure I explained it clearly enough. My TV has 3 HDMI inputs, all of which can be configured for PC, Game Mode, TV etc etc. The Game Mode makes the XBOX input fill the screen and overall looks better than say in TV mode. So if the input from the XBOX
One is set to Game Mode, then I switched the XBOX One to throughput the TV signal, then I would be watching the preset HDMI in Game Mode even though I was watching a TV/Tivo channel, if that makes sense.

.

So to recap

.

My TV has one HDMI port set to TV input and another one set to Game Mode input, and I simply change the input depending on wether it is a game I want to play or a TV channel to watch.

.

But if one HDMI input is being used by both XBOX One and a TV signal input, then the TV's HDMI port setting will only default to the one I set it to in the first place

.

So it is the TV that determines what display I will get regardless of what signal the XBOX One sends.

If that doesn't confuse you then nothing will, already getting a headache just re-reading it
